We've had many requests to share the infographics we have created to support your understanding of key elements of the new K-10 syllabuses – we've published them previously on the blog and on Twitter.

You can download the infographics in the one file attached – you may like to display them at networking days, programming days or in the staff room.

They were created using www.canva.com – a free, online design platform which enables you to create social media graphics, posters, magazine covers, presentations and so on. There are a range of templates to choose from, with drag-and-drop features. You could use www.canva.com to create classroom resources, and it is also available to students aged 13 and over – just check the terms of use first.
